Stay with Us! Lodging in the (626)

4/18/2016

0 Comments

 
It's not everyday that 7 cities partner together to connect 6 new light rail stations via over 17 miles of streets opened for walking, biking, skating and more. In fact, this is the first time any of the 7 participating cities will host an open streets event. As far as we know 626 Golden Streets also has more cities working together to open streets along a continuous route than any other ciclovia in the US!  Needless to say, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the (626) in a whole new light!  

​For those joining us from further afield, there is a wide range of overnight lodging options in close proximity to the event route.  The (626) and area have a lot to offer, why not make a weekend of it!

Open Streets in Southern California

3/1/2016

1 Comment

 
2016 will be the most open-streets-friendly in SoCal, ever, with over a half a dozen  major ciclovias scheduled between March and October 2016. In addition to 626 Golden Streets presented by Metro, several events will feature completely new routes and neighborhoods to explore, including four southeast LA cities on May 15th and a host of San Gabriel Valley cities on June 12th and 26th. If you enjoy exploring LA's diversity by foot, bike, or skate, you will want to save these dates for an active day with friends and family!

What are "Open Streets"?
Open Streets events or ciclovias are temporary street closures for automobile traffic that "open" roads for community members of all ages to walk, bike, dance, play, jog, run, socialize and more!  Popularized over 40 years ago in Bogota, Columbia, whose “ciclovia” takes place every Sunday and public holiday from 7am to 2pm with an estimated 2 million participants spread out over 70 miles, these simple but powerful events are relatively new to southern California; the first and largest regular event in SoCal (CicLAvia) was only hosted in October 2010. Check out this video for a better idea of what these wonderful community events can look like.
